I Want It All

(album: I Want It All - 1999)

What's up negros and negrettes?
It's your boy Warren G
You know what I'm saying?
Chilling with the home boy Mack 10
And we gon' lay a lil' sumping down for y'all
Let y'all know what time it is
Show you how we keeping it real wit' it
You know, 'cause this world is built on material thangs
But we ain't tripping off that
We want y'all to know this, check it

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all

They say, 'There go Warren G with that envious stare'
I love this game too much, I wish these haters wasn't here
It's a shame, we came too far to turn back
It's a cold world, it gets so hard, you learned that
From falling, trying to walk from crawl
Trying to hustle up from broke to balling
And, yeah, y'all in effect that's all me
The jiggy G-Z, all my niggas that keep it real and do it easy
Believe me, young nigga, fat meat is greasy
And shit stank, so if you plot a lick and hit a bank
And get away, or get gaffled, the very next day
Don't cry, hold your head up high
And remember what you told yourself, nigga
I said remember what you told yourself, nigga
I said remember what you told yourself, nigga
I said remember what you told yourself, nigga

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all

[Mack 10:]
I want it all, so I got to wake up and ball
And thanks to y'all, I got plaques on the wall
Mack 10 laced with the know how to paper chase
Crushed ice, throw my Rollie face in the platinum fan base
From net working and hustling, no doubt, I got clout
And live the lifestyle that Robin Leach talking about
Slow down player, don't hate 'cause you can't relate
The Bently Coupes and kicking gears on Harley's with the straights
I got more lime light than Vegas on cable
Will it enable to shoot C-Note "Yo's" at the crap table
And while you can't get off the ground, I'm getting high
A nigga fly and fly, with the desire to build an empire
I strapped up and took flight like a missile
Told them loud and clear as a whistle 'Hoo Banging is official'
Handing out gold medallions at roll-call
I'ma ball and never fall 'cause Mack 10 want it all
What

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all

[Warren G:]
Me and 10 get paid escapade to the spot
We hot like rocks served on hot blocks
I notice money make the world circulate
So we gon' stack and stack and take a sip and percolate
Bump, let the woofers sub (sub), show the homies love (love)
Warren to the G (G), and Little G-Dub (Dub)
Surface on the low, slide or don't slide at all
Ride or don't ride at all

[Mack 10:]
Warren, I couldn't be more serious about my 'fetti
I stay tight on the mic and keep the pen moving steady
I want it all, dog, and it might be greed
I hate to trip, but I got two little mouths to feed
They don't know nothing about no excuses and disrespect
Or somebody being jank with they Daddy's royalty check
And at that point, I'm through talking, dog, enough said
So, if you owe Mack money, then I suggest you break bread
I want it all

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all

I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, every damn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple of Benzs
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm balling every time I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all
